According to Hayes Fawcett of Rivals and On3 Sports, four-star tight end Colt Lumpris has committed to the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Lumpris, a 6-foot-7, 225-pound tight end from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, chose Alabama over other top schools, including Ohio State, Tennessee, and Ole Miss. He's rated as the No. 275 overall prospect in the 2027 recruiting class, the No. 17 tight end, and the No. 6 player in New Jersey. He received an offer from the Crimson Tide on March 7, 2025, and his primary recruiter was Alabama tight ends coach Bryan Ellis. Lumpris has been to Alabama once, when he received his offer on March 7.

247 Sports National Analyst Hudson Standish said of Lumpris in his scouting profile:

" - High-upside two-way standout at tight end and edge rusher who could feasibly play either side of the ball at the P4 level. Verified hovering a shade over 6-foot-6, 225 pounds with long arms and massive hands. Possesses immense bulking capacity.
- Unique fluidity of movement for a player of his size. Lacrosse multi-sport experience clearly translates, considering his ideal short-area quickness and redirection capability.
- Clear red zone threat who will battle at the catch point. Growing as a pure ball tracker, but flashed plenty of positives in that regard as a junior. Can generate explosive power in the legs and plays with impressive jump timing.
- Young for his class, turns 17 in July.
- Primarily deployed as a slot receiver at the prep level, will need to continue improving play strength, technique, and contact courage before he's ready to give quality in-line reps.
- Should be viewed as an immensely high-ceiling pass catcher with an ideal blend of route-running savvy and
contested catch ability. Could eventually draw looks from NFL scouts if he keeps progressing."

He is Alabama's fourth commitment in the Tide's 16th-ranked 2027 recruiting class, joining four-star edge rusher Jabarrius Garror, four-star quarterback Trent Seaborn, and three-star cornerback Nash Johnson III.
